I am so glad the summer is over. It was extremely stressful. I had to take all of my cats to the vets this summer but thankfully they are all fine now. Yesterday I managed to lock out Abby for almost a half an hour. My neighbor started ringing my bell repeatedly and I opened it and she said your kitten your kitten and there was Abby. The little devil now is enjoying jumping up on the stove, especially when I am boiling water for coffee. This is the only time I am rough with her and yell down and push her off the stove. I just hope she doesn't think it is a game. Now she is enjoying using the new leather couch as a scratching post. I am afraid to look closely to see the progress she has made. She is still my precious little baby.
I now have somebody who cleans and is organizing my apartment. She is a friend of my best friend who has known her for ten years. Unfortunately I didn't set any rules. She is totally wonderful and hasn't triggered me. She appears to be totally unjudgmental. She is also a very hard worker and very independent. She didn't come this week. She is going to school and also gets work from school. I am waiting to hear from her when she is coming next.
The social worker assigned to me doesn't have a clue about bipolar but she is very nice. I don't know if she is going to visit me every month or what.
The coop president called my best friend and asked her some questions..one was if I might kill myself or bring harm to others in the building. She answered some of the questions called me and called him back and told him I was bipolar and seeing a psychiatrist every other week and was on medications which caused me to gain a lot of weight but that my thinking was sharp but not as sharp as before the medications. She told him I had been improving and she had known me almost forty years. She even told him she would give him references if he wanted to. He said that wasn't necessary. She told me that I should wear barrettes or something to make an effort to appear neater.
I have been self medicating my depression with buying off ebay. Needless to say I now have a lot of barrettes. It seems I can't get rid of my depression.
I finally finished the form for a rent freeze because of my age two days ago. I had to do my taxes too because they wanted them. That was a huge load off my back. I also brought across the street fifty six pounds of laundry. I think I am caught up there. I still have more papers to throw out.
